I miss Grandma Christmas! ?

Gransnet uses stock photos all the time. I've noticed it especially in their cooking items. It dives me bonkers.

They might, for example use pictures of mushroom tagine to give "the idea" of a lamb casserole (with NO mushrooms) and so on. I have written to them about it as more than once I've gone to cook something only to discover it bears no relation to the image.
They don't care.

Maybe the reason she looks familiar is because she might be a stockphoto model? Just a thought ..

The woman in the image to left appears on Gransnet and the U.S. Social Security Administration website!

Yes. Good thread!
Happy new year!

I thought the first one looked a bit like Sheila Hancock.

I'm sure I know her .....

I think that this is my favourite GN thread so far
Happy New Year btw to you x

Dame Sheila Hancock now!

I thought the first one looked a bit like Sheila Hancock.

She looks too self consciously smug.

Unfortunately I don't look like her!

Ah ha! Is it you, Kate1949?

Very stylish!

I have something in common with the second lady. Same blinds!

I'd be willing to do a photo shoot -- with my back turned to the camera ..

I think I’d need more that that, tbh.

Do you think GN would pay for eye surgery and veneers?

I could be the model for a ‘before’ photo

Here's the latest one.
She definitely hasn't got lockdown hair
I need an eye lift and my teeth veneered, or else GNHQ will never pick me to be a model.

Oh dear, I thought she was in a home!

My hair was definitely more like hers. Until it grew and grew in lockdown.

I wonder if I looked as glam as her?
Nom never have ! And she is very much more stylish in her decor.
Also smiling happily as she reads. It must be a funny book.

Her Christmas blanket is definitely an improvement on the antimacassars ...

Aah yes, Blossoming I prefer this lady. Definitely.

I didn't notice her! She does look happy and fun

I prefer this one, she’s obviously reading something that makes her happy. She could read to me ?

What characteristics make her appear spikey and sneery!? ?

She has soft eyes, silky hair and looks to be wearing cashmere ..

My hair would never look like that either .. unless ironed ..

I don’t think much of her crocheted antimacassars ...

Why isn't my hair all smooth like hers?

Because I have the wrong kind of hair.
